In 1939, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a new stage. In that year, after an initial rapid advance, the Japanese began to stop large-scale offensive operations and instead focus on consolidating the areas they had already occupied. This strategic adjustment was a decision made by the Japanese army after assessing the war situation. They realized that, despite their military superiority, they would need more time and resources to completely conquer China. As a result, the Japanese army began to strengthen its administration, build fortifications, and engage in economic plunder in the occupied territories in order to maintain an advantage in the long war.
At the same time, the optimism of the Nationalist government in the early stages of the war gradually suffered. Originally, it was planned to adopt a defensive position at the beginning of the war and then switch to an offensive strategy when the Japanese offensive weakened, but the actual effect was not ideal. Although the troops of the Nationalist Government showed a stubborn spirit of resistance in many battles, it was often difficult to achieve decisive victories in the face of the modern weapons and strict tactics of the Japanese army. As a result, the Nationalist Government had to reassess the situation of the war and its own strategic deployment.
Against this backdrop, the Nationalist Government began to realize that it would not happen overnight to regain lost territory. They began to pay more attention to internal unity and building, strengthening the training and equipment of the army, and at the same time seeking the support and assistance of the international community. The Nationalist Government was well aware that only through a protracted war of resistance could the Japanese army's combat effectiveness be gradually depleted and conditions could be created for the final victory.
In addition, the Nationalist Government also intensified its propaganda on the war, conveying to the people the determination and confidence of the war of resistance through newspapers, radio and other media, and arousing the enthusiasm of the whole nation for the war of resistance. In this way, they hope to enhance the cohesion of the people and provide a strong spiritual impetus for the War of Resistance.
At the international level, the Nationalist Government is also actively seeking diplomatic support. They sent delegations to the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries to seek military assistance and economic support, hoping to use international forces to break the strategic blockade of the Japanese army and provide more resources and opportunities for China's war of resistance.
However, the war situation during this period was still very serious. The Japanese army became increasingly dominant in the occupied areas, and they caused great economic and social damage to China through forced conscription and plundering of resources. At the same time, the Japanese army also continued to strengthen the blockade of China's coastal areas in an attempt to cut off China's ties with the outside world and further isolate China.
In the face of such a situation, the Nationalist Government and the Chinese people did not give up resistance. They firmly believed that as long as they persisted in the war of resistance, they would be able to find a way to defeat the invaders. Supported by this belief, the Chinese people have shown amazing resilience and courage, both on the battlefield on the front line and on the production line in the rear, contributing their own strength to the victory of the War of Resistance.
With the deepening of the war, the will of the National Government and the Chinese people to resist the war has become more and more firm. They began to pay more attention to the protracted nature and complexity of warfare, constantly adjusting and optimizing their strategies and tactics to adapt to the ever-changing war environment. In this process, the National Government and the Chinese people gradually accumulated valuable experience in the War of Resistance and laid the foundation for the final victory.
In 1939, the flames of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had been burning for two years. During this period, the Japanese army, with its strong military strength and advanced tactics, carried out fierce attacks on many areas of China and achieved certain results. However, as the war deepened, the Japanese army gradually realized that in order to completely conquer China, military means alone were far from enough. Thus, in 1939, the Japanese army began to adjust its strategy, stopping large-scale offensive operations and focusing instead on consolidating the areas already occupied.
Behind this strategic adjustment was the Japanese army's reassessment of China's war situation. They recognize that despite their military superiority, more time and resources will be needed to fully control China. China is a vast country with a large population, and it is almost impossible to achieve full occupation in a short period of time. As a result, the Japanese army began to shift its tactics from a purely military offensive to more complex political, economic, and cultural control.
In the process of consolidating the occupied territories, the Japanese army took a number of measures. First of all, they strengthened the administration of the occupied territories and established puppet regimes, through which they tried to control the political and economic life of the localities. At the same time, the Japanese army also vigorously pursued the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" policy, trying to weaken the will of the Chinese people to resist through cultural infiltration and ideological propaganda.
Secondly, the Japanese army carried out large-scale economic plundering in the occupied territories. They plundered China's resources, such as minerals, grain, etc., to support the operation of its war machine. In addition, the Japanese army forced Chinese laborers to build railways, roads and other infrastructure for them to strengthen their control in the occupied areas.
However, these actions of the Japanese army were not accepted by the Chinese people. On the contrary, the will of the Chinese people to resist is even stronger. Under the leadership of the National Government, the Chinese people launched an extremely arduous war of resistance. Although the plans of the Nationalist government in the early stages of the war were frustrated, they did not give up. On the contrary, they began to reassess the situation of the war and adjust their strategic deployment to adapt to the development of the war.
In the process, the Nationalist Government adopted a series of measures to strengthen the war of resistance. First of all, they strengthened the training and equipment of the army and increased the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, the Nationalist Government also strengthened its propaganda on the war and aroused the enthusiasm of the whole nation for the war of resistance. In addition, the Nationalist Government also actively sought the support and assistance of the international community, hoping to resist the Japanese invasion with the help of external forces.
Strategically, the Nationalist Government began to adopt more flexible tactics. They took advantage of the terrain and popular support to carry out guerrilla warfare, harassing and disrupting the Japanese army's logistical supply lines with small forces, weakening its combat effectiveness. At the same time, the Nationalist Government was also actively seeking cooperation with other anti-Japanese forces, hoping to form a broader anti-Japanese united front.
In addition, the Nationalist Government also strengthened scientific research and technological innovation in the war. They realized that in order to win the war, they had to constantly improve their technological skills. Therefore, the National Government invested significant resources in research and development of new weapons and tactics.
During this period, the Chinese people's anti-war spirit was greatly stimulated. Whether on the battlefield on the front line or on the production line in the rear, the Chinese people have shown amazing resilience and courage. They firmly believed that as long as they persisted in the war of resistance, they would be able to find a way to defeat the invaders.
With the deepening of the war, the will of the Chinese people to resist the war has become more and more firm. They began to pay more attention to the protracted nature and complexity of warfare, constantly adjusting and optimizing their strategies and tactics to adapt to the ever-changing war environment. In this process, the Chinese gradually accumulated valuable experience in the War of Resistance and laid the foundation for the final victory.
In short, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1939 was an extremely arduous struggle waged by the Chinese people under extremely difficult conditions. Despite the strong pressure from the Japanese army, the Chinese did not give up. On the contrary, through constant efforts and struggles, they gradually found their way to victory over the aggressor. The War of Resistance during this period not only demonstrated the tenacity and courage of the Chinese people, but also accumulated valuable experience and strength for China's final victory.
In 1939, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had entered a critical period. The Nationalist Government originally planned to take a defensive position at the beginning of the war, and then switch to the offensive after the Japanese offensive weakened, in the hope of recovering the lost territory. However, as the war deepened, the Nationalist government gradually found that the implementation of this strategy was not satisfactory. The military strength and tactical superiority of the Japanese army caused the Nationalist government's counterattacks to be repeatedly frustrated, and the process of recovering the lost territory was far more difficult than expected.
First of all, in the defensive phase of the early stage of the war, although the Nationalist government successfully blocked the many attacks of the Japanese army, it also paid a huge price. A large amount of manpower and material resources were consumed on the front lines of the war, and the construction of the rear and social order were seriously affected. As a result, the Nationalist Government faced difficulties such as insufficient troops and lack of materials when it turned to the offensive.
Second, the strategic adjustment of the national government did not go smoothly. The original plan to switch from defense to offensive required a lot of tactical innovation and adjustment to adapt to the tactical changes of the Japanese army. However, due to the lack of sufficient intelligence and an in-depth understanding of the tactics of the Japanese army, it was often difficult for the Nationalist Government to innovate and adjust its tactics to achieve the desired results. In addition, the army of the Nationalist Government was also inadequate in training and equipment, making it difficult to effectively confront the Japanese army.
Thirdly, the Nationalist Government also faced challenges in terms of war mobilization and social integration. Although the Nationalist Government carried out large-scale propaganda and mobilization in the early stages of the war, as the war continued, the people's enthusiasm for the war gradually weakened, and social contradictions and divisions gradually emerged. As a result, the Nationalist Government encountered difficulties in mobilizing social resources and integrating social forces, which affected the course of the war.
In the face of these difficulties and challenges, the Nationalist Government began to reassess the war situation and adjust its strategic arrangements. They realized that the reconquest of lost territory would not happen overnight and would require long-term perseverance and hard work. As a result, the Nationalist Government began to adopt a more pragmatic and flexible strategy to adapt to the development of the war.
Strategically, the Nationalist Government began to pay more attention to internal unity and construction. They have strengthened the training and equipment of the army and improved the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, the Nationalist Government also strengthened its propaganda on the war and aroused the enthusiasm of the whole nation for the war of resistance. In addition, the Nationalist Government also actively sought cooperation with other anti-Japanese forces, hoping to form a broader anti-Japanese united front.
In short, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1939 was a period full of challenges and difficulties for the Nationalist Government. Their plans in the early stages of the war were thwarted and they were faced with the daunting task of recovering the lost territories. However, through continuous efforts and adjustments, the Nationalist Government gradually found a strategy and tactics that adapted to the development of the war, laying the foundation for the final victory.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1939, the military confrontation between China and Japan gradually turned into a long-term war. As the war dragged on, both sides began to realize that this war could not end anytime soon. Therefore, they began to seek a favorable turn in the international political arena with a view to changing the dynamics of the war.
The efforts of the Nationalist Government in international politics are mainly manifested in seeking external assistance and enhancing its international status. The Chinese government sent delegations to the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries to actively seek military assistance and economic support. These efforts have alleviated China's shortage of materials and equipment to a certain extent, and provided more combat resources for the Chinese army. At the same time, the Nationalist Government also used diplomatic means to win the sympathy and support of the international community for China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so as to enhance China's voice in the international arena.
Japan, for its part, is also actively engaged in international politics in order to consolidate and expand its influence in Asia. Japan seeks to consolidate its position in the occupied areas of China through diplomatic negotiations and treaty-signing with other countries, and seeks the acquiescence or support of the international community for its actions. In addition, Japan also tried to weaken the will of the Nationalist Government to resist the war by dividing forces within China.
In terms of combat strength, although there was a gap between the Chinese army and the Japanese army in terms of equipment and training, with the deepening of the war, the Chinese army gradually accumulated valuable combat experience, and showed the ability to be evenly matched with the Japanese army in some local battlefields. The Chinese army gradually formed its own superiority in guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare, and effectively contained and depleted the strength of the Japanese army through flexible and mobile tactics.
In addition, the Chinese army has also achieved remarkable results in some key battles. For example, in the Battle of Changsha, the Chinese army successfully stopped the Japanese offensive and inflicted large losses on the Japanese army. These victories not only boosted the morale of the Chinese army, but also changed the international community's perception of China's ability to resist the war to a certain extent.
As the war continued, the gap between the combat power of China and Japan gradually narrowed. The Chinese armed forces have improved their combat capability through continuous learning and adaptation. At the same time, changes in international politics have also provided new opportunities for China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In this process, the Chinese army not only showed a strong will to resist militarily, but also made certain achievements in international politics, laying the foundation for the final victory.
As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the protracted phase in 1939, both China and Japan gradually realized that the war could not end in a short period of time. Against this backdrop, the two countries began to seek a favorable shift in the international political arena in order to secure more support and resources for themselves through diplomacy and international relations.
The efforts of the Nationalist Government in international politics are particularly evident. The Chinese leadership is well aware that in order to change the unfavorable situation of the war, it is necessary to win the sympathy and support of the international community. As a result, the Nationalist Government has actively engaged in diplomatic activities to establish closer ties with other countries. The Chinese delegation visited the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, not only to obtain military aid and economic support, but also to enhance China's status in the international community. These diplomatic efforts have alleviated China's shortage of materials and equipment to a certain extent, and provided more combat resources for the Chinese army.
Japan, on the other hand, has also carried out a series of maneuvers in international politics in order to consolidate its position in Asia and expand its influence. Japan seeks to consolidate its position in the occupied areas of China through diplomatic negotiations and treaty-signing with other countries, and seeks the acquiescence or support of the international community for its actions. In addition, Japan also tried to weaken the will of the Nationalist Government to resist the war by dividing forces within China.
In the game of international politics, the performance of the Chinese army in the War of Resistance has also become an important weight for the Nationalist Government to win international support. The stubborn resistance of the Chinese army on local battlefields and the series of victories it has won have not only enhanced the people's confidence in the War of Resistance at home, but also demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army internationally. To a certain extent, these victories have changed the international community's perception of China's ability to resist the war, and won more sympathy and support for China.
At the same time, changes in international politics have also provided new opportunities for China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. With the in-depth development of the World Anti-Fascist War, more and more countries began to pay attention to the Far East battlefield and realized the importance of China's War of Resistance to the entire Anti-Fascist War. This has provided favorable conditions for China to secure broader international support.
In this process, the Nationalist Government not only demonstrated a strong will to resist militarily, but also made certain achievements in international politics. Through diplomatic efforts, the Nationalist Government succeeded in linking China's War of Resistance against Fascism with the overall situation of the World Anti-Fascist War, and won wider international support and understanding for China's War of Resistance against Fascism. These diplomatic achievements were of great significance for the final victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression continued, the gap between China and Japan in combat strength gradually narrowed, and the Chinese army showed the ability to be evenly matched with the Japanese army in many local battlefields. Behind this change is a significant improvement in the tactics, equipment, training and morale of the Chinese military.
First of all, the Chinese military's innovative and flexible use of tactics has made it possible for it to gain superiority on local battlefields. In mountainous terrain, jungles and other complex terrains, the Chinese army took advantage of the terrain to carry out guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare, effectively containing and depleting the strength of the Japanese army. At the same time, the Chinese army also strengthened the study of urban defense and night warfare, and caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese army through flexible and mobile tactics.
Secondly, the improvement of the equipment of the Chinese army also provided a material basis for it to contend with the Japanese army on the battlefield. Thanks to the efforts of the Nationalist Government and the support of the international community, the Chinese military has acquired more modern weapons and equipment, such as rifles, machine guns, artillery, etc. The use of this equipment has significantly improved the firepower and combat capability of the Chinese army.
Thirdly, the strengthening of the training of the Chinese army has provided a talent guarantee for its performance on the battlefield. The Nationalist Government has intensified the training of the armed forces, especially in the areas of shooting, tactical application, and command and coordination. These trainings have improved the combat skills of soldiers and the command ability of commanders, enabling the Chinese military to organize and carry out combat missions more effectively on the battlefield.
In addition, the high morale of the Chinese army was also an important factor in its parity with the Japanese army on local battlefields. During the protracted War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people was fully aroused, and the vast number of officers and men had a firm will to resist the war, fearless of strong enemies, and courageous in making sacrifices. This high morale has provided a powerful spiritual impetus for the Chinese army's stubborn resistance on the battlefield.
In some key local battlefields, the performance of the Chinese army is particularly prominent. For example, in the Battle of Changsha, the Chinese army, through careful planning and careful deployment, successfully stopped the Japanese offensive and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. The victory in this battle not only enhanced the people's confidence in the War of Resistance at home, but also demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army internationally.
In short, with the deepening of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese army improved in terms of tactics, equipment, training and morale, so that it showed the ability to be evenly matched with the Japanese army on local battlefields. This improvement in capability not only provides the possibility for the Chinese army to achieve more victories on the battlefield, but also lays the foundation for the eventual victory over the aggressor.
In 1939, in Kunlun Pass in southern China, there was a fierce battle that went down in history - the Battle of Kunlun Pass. This battle was not only an important battle in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also a remarkable victory for the Chinese army in the southern battlefield.
Kunlun Pass, located in the northeast of Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, has a dangerous terrain and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. In November of that year, in order to cut off China's external communication lines, the Japanese army assembled the 5th Division, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, the 5th Fleet and other troops, and launched a fierce attack on Kunlun Pass. In the face of the sudden attack of the Japanese army, the Chinese army reacted quickly, and the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government urgently transferred the 5th, 99th, and 36th armies to Guangxi for reinforcements.
In this battle, the Chinese army showed extraordinary courage and unwavering determination. Although the Chinese army did not have an advantage in equipment, they relied on the heroic fighting of patriotic officers and soldiers, as well as their familiarity with the terrain and flexible tactical use, to fight to the death against the Japanese army. In particular, in the battle for Kunlun Pass, the Chinese army gradually weakened the Japanese defenses through repeated charges and night attacks.
In December, Chinese troops, under the command of General Du Yuming, launched a general assault on Kunlun Pass. In the fierce battles, the Chinese army showed extremely high fighting skills and sacrifice. Taking advantage of the terrain characteristics of Kunlun Pass, they adopted flexible and changeable tactics, including ambushes, night battles, and close combat, which effectively dealt a blow to the morale and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. After several days of fierce fighting, the Chinese army finally succeeded in retaking Kunlun Pass on December 31, 1939, and killed Major General Nakamura Masao, the commander of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
The victory in the Battle of Kunlun Pass not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army militarily, but also greatly encouraged the will of the Chinese people to resist the war psychologically. This victory proved that the Chinese army was able to gain the initiative on the battlefield through wise and brave command and heroic and tenacious fighting, even in the case of backward equipment.
The victory of the Chinese army in the battle of Kunlun Pass also benefited from the selfless dedication of the vast number of patriotic officers and soldiers. Many soldiers showed a high level of patriotism in the battle, they were not afraid of hardships and dangers, they were not afraid of sacrifices, and defended the dignity of the country and the security of the people with their lives. This spirit became an important driving force for the Chinese army to continuously achieve victories in the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The historical significance of the Battle of Kunlun Pass lies not only in the fact that it was a military victory, but also in the fact that it demonstrated the unity and tenacity of the Chinese nation in the face of foreign aggression. This battle will forever be remembered in the annals of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and will become a precious spiritual wealth that inspires future generations to continue to struggle and defend peace.
In 1939, the Chinese army won a major victory in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, killing Major General Nakamura Masao, commander of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army. This battle was not only of great military significance, but also greatly encouraged the will of the Chinese people to resist the war of resistance spiritually.
Kunlun Pass, a place where soldiers have fought for since ancient times, is located in the northeast of Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with dangerous terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack. In November of that year, in order to further occupy southwest China and cut off China's external communication lines, the Japanese army assembled the 5th Division, Taiwan Mixed Brigade and other troops to launch a fierce attack on Kunlun Pass. In the face of the sudden attack of the Japanese army, the Chinese army reacted quickly, and the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government urgently transferred the 5th, 99th, and 36th armies to Guangxi for reinforcements.
In the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the Chinese army showed extraordinary courage and determination. Although the Chinese army did not have an advantage in equipment, they relied on the heroic fighting of patriotic officers and soldiers, as well as their familiarity with the terrain and flexible tactical use, to fight to the death against the Japanese army. In particular, in the battle for Kunlun Pass, the Chinese army gradually weakened the Japanese defenses through repeated charges and night attacks.
In December, Chinese troops, under the command of General Du Yuming, launched a general assault on Kunlun Pass.

After several days of fierce fighting, the Chinese army finally succeeded in retaking Kunlun Pass on December 31, 1939, and killed Major General Nakamura Masao, the commander of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
The death of Major General Nakamura Masao was a heavy blow to the Japanese army. He was not only a senior commander, but also the military brain of the Japanese army in the Battle of Kunlun Pass. His death not only meant that the Japanese army had lost an important tactical guide, but also caused a huge psychological shock within the Japanese army. For the Chinese army, the killing of Major General Nakamura Masao was undoubtedly a great victory, which proved that the Chinese army was able to gain the initiative on the battlefield through wise and brave command and heroic and tenacious fighting, even in the case of backward equipment.
The victory in the Battle of Kunlun Pass not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army militarily, but also greatly encouraged the will of the Chinese people to resist the war psychologically.

Many soldiers showed a high level of patriotism in the battle, they were not afraid of hardships and dangers, they were not afraid of sacrifices, and defended the dignity of the country and the security of the people with their lives. This spirit became an important driving force for the Chinese army to continuously achieve victories in the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In 1939, at Kunlun Pass in southern China, the 5th Army of the Chinese Army successfully regained Kunlun Pass under arduous conditions and relying on the heroic fighting of patriotic officers and soldiers. This victory did not rely on advanced mechanized equipment, but on the firm will, tenacious fighting spirit, and deep affection for the country among the officers and men.
The Battle of Kunlun Pass was a crucial battle in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and its victory was of great significance for boosting domestic morale and demonstrating the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. At that time, the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, under the command of Major General Nakamura Masao, attempted to further occupy southwest China through the Kunlun Pass. However, they underestimated the will of the Chinese army and people to resist.
Under the leadership of General Du Yuming, the 5th Army did not choose a frontal and hard-fought battle in the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army, but adopted flexible and mobile tactics. Taking advantage of the terrain of Kunlun Pass, the officers and soldiers launched a number of night raids and ambushes, effectively weakening the Japanese offensive. In the battle, the Chinese army showed extremely high fighting skills and sacrificial spirit, they were not afraid of hardships and dangers, they were not afraid of sacrifice, and built an impregnable defense line with their own flesh and blood.
In the Battle of Kunlun Pass, although the equipment of the Chinese army was backward, the morale of the officers and soldiers was unusually high. They know very well that they are fighting for the survival of the country and the dignity of the nation. During the battle, many officers and soldiers showed amazing courage and wisdom, they used rudimentary weapons against the Japanese aircraft and artillery, and used their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's tanks and fighting vehicles. In the repeated charges and counterattacks, the Chinese army gradually regained the initiative on the battlefield.
The victory in the Battle of Kunlun Pass benefited from the joint efforts of all the officers and men of the 5th Army. From generals to soldiers, everyone is fighting for a common goal. The commanders carefully planned their tactics, and the soldiers bravely carried out the orders. In the battle, many officers and soldiers took the lead, and their heroic deeds inspired the surrounding comrades-in-arms to work together to recover Kunlun Pass.
In addition, the victory in the Battle of Kunlun Pass was also inseparable from the support of the local people. During the fighting, many local people spontaneously organized themselves to provide intelligence, transport supplies, and rescue the wounded for the Chinese army. Their support provided the Chinese military with strong logistics, allowing officers and soldiers to focus more on the battle.
In short, the Battle of Kunlun Pass was an important victory for the Chinese army in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it demonstrated the unity and tenacity of the Chinese army and people in the face of a strong enemy. This victory did not rely on mechanized equipment, but on the heroic fighting and selfless dedication of patriotic officers and soldiers. This spirit will always inspire the Chinese people to make unremitting efforts to defend the dignity of the country and the nation.
In the northern battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Battle of Loess Ridge was a battle of great strategic significance. The battle took place in November 1939, when the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army successfully ambushed and killed Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, in the Loess Ridge area. This victory not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army militarily, but also greatly encouraged the will of the Chinese people to resist the war psychologically.
The victory in the Battle of Loess Ridge benefited from Commander Yang Chengwu's careful planning and skillful use of tactics. Commander Yang Chengwu knew very well that in the face of a well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army, if the Eighth Route Army wanted to achieve victory, it must give full play to its advantages, that is, flexible and mobile guerrilla tactics and familiarity with the terrain. In the Battle of Loess Ridge, Commander Yang Chengwu skillfully used the terrain and night to set up an ambush circle and wait for the Japanese army to enter.
Before the battle began, Commander Yang Chengwu made a careful deployment of the troops. He divided his troops into groups that were responsible for different tactical tasks, such as luring the enemy, ambushing, encircling, and pursuing. Each group clarified its own tasks and course of action, ensuring that the battle proceeded in an orderly manner. At the same time, Commander Yang Chengwu also emphasized secrecy and concealment, and asked all troops to minimize noise and light during their operations to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army.
During the battle, the officers and men of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army displayed extremely high combat skills and a spirit of sacrifice. Taking advantage of the cover of night and terrain, they quietly approached the Japanese troops, and then launched a surprise attack, disrupting the Japanese position. In the fierce exchange of fire, the officers and men of the Eighth Route were flexible and maneuvering, constantly changing positions, effectively containing and depleting the Japanese troops.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Eighth Route Army successfully killed Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was one of the highest-ranking generals of the Japanese army killed in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The death of Norihide Abe was a huge blow to the Japanese army, and their chain of command was disorganized, and the morale of the troops was seriously affected.
The victory in the Battle of Loess Ridge demonstrated the combat effectiveness and tactical wisdom of the Eighth Route Army. This victory proved that even if you are inferior in equipment and troops, you can achieve victory on the battlefield as long as you can give full play to your advantages and adopt the right tactics. This victory also greatly encouraged the will of the Chinese people to resist the war and strengthened the confidence of the people of the whole country in defeating the aggressors.

At the beginning of the battle, the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the cover of night and terrain to quietly approach the Japanese army. Under the command of Commander Yang Chengwu, the officers and men of the Eighth Route launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army with lightning speed. Under the sudden blow, the Japanese army was in great confusion and could not effectively organize a counterattack.
In the fierce firefight, Commander Yang Chengwu flexibly adjusted his tactics and commanded the troops to constantly change positions, effectively containing and depleting the Japanese troops. He accurately grasped the situation on the battlefield and adjusted the battle plan in a timely manner, so that the Eighth Route Army could always maintain the initiative in battle.
Commander Yang Chengwu's tactical application is not only reflected in his flexible command of the troops, but also in his accurate judgment of the enemy's situation and his keen grasp of the fighters. During the battle, he was able to quickly identify the weak points of the Japanese army, directing the troops to deliver targeted strikes. At the same time, he was also able to adjust his tactics in a timely manner according to changes in the battlefield situation to ensure the smooth progress of the battle.
In the Battle of Loess Ridge, the tactical wisdom of Commander Yang Chengwu was fully reflected. He not only successfully commanded the troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, but also successfully killed the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Brigade, Lieutenant General Norihide Abe. This result was a heavy blow to the Japanese army and a great encouragement to the Chinese people.
At the end of 1939, exciting news came from the battlefield of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression - the Eighth Route Army killed two Japanese brigade commanders on different fronts, which caused an unprecedented major psychological blow to the Japanese army invading China. This victory not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army, but also completely shattered their illusion that the war would end in a short time.
First of all, the result of killing the commander of the Japanese brigade caused a great shock within the Japanese army. The death of the brigade commander, a senior commander in the army, not only meant that the Japanese army had lost valuable military leadership, but also caused panic and unrest among the Japanese soldiers. This kind of psychological blow is difficult to describe in words, and it has a direct impact on the Japanese army's will to fight and combat efficiency. The Japanese began to realize that they were facing a strong, unyielding, intelligent and courageous opponent, and no longer the "backward" army they had once despised.
Secondly, the will and ability of the Chinese military and civilians to resist has been proven. The fact that the Chinese army was able to achieve such a major victory under the difficult conditions of the War of Resistance fully demonstrated the determination of the Chinese people to resist the war and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. This victory greatly encouraged the Chinese people's anti-war sentiment and enhanced the self-confidence and cohesion of the whole nation. As a result, the anti-Japanese forces throughout the country united more firmly to resist the Japanese invasion.
At the same time, the victory of the Eighth Route Army under difficult conditions showed its potential combat effectiveness and threat to the Japanese army. The Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics, flexible and mobile combat methods, and familiarity with the terrain all caught the Japanese by surprise. This tactical superiority enabled the Eighth Route Army to effectively strike at the Japanese army and even achieve a decisive victory even when it was inferior in strength and equipment.
In addition, this victory has far-reaching implications for the international community. Countries around the world began to reassess China's position and role in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and realized the importance of China's War of Resistance against Fascism in the global anti-fascist war. As a result, the international community's support and assistance to China has been strengthened, providing more external help for China's final victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In short, the killing of two Japanese brigade commanders at the end of 1939 was an important turning point in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army militarily, but also had a far-reaching psychological and political impact. This victory proved the strong will to resist and strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese military and people, and completely shattered the illusion that the Japanese army would end the war in a short time. This victory of the Eighth Route Army was not only a major blow to the Japanese army invading China, but also a great encouragement to China's anti-Japanese forces, and laid a solid foundation for China's eventual victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

On the Japanese side, the deaths of two brigade commanders forced the Japanese top brass to re-examine their judgment and strategy on the Chinese battlefield. The commanders of the Japanese army began to realize that they underestimated the resistance and tactical flexibility of the Chinese army. This realization prompted the Japanese to adopt more cautious and complex tactics in subsequent operations, but at the same time increased their operational costs and the uncertainty of the war.

At the end of 1939, exciting news came from the battlefield of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression: the Eighth Route Army had killed two Japanese brigade commanders on different fronts. This result not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army, but also proved the will and ability of the Chinese military and people to resist. As the news of these two victories spread throughout the country, the Chinese people's anti-war mood was greatly boosted, and the illusion that the invading Japanese army would end the war in a short period of time was also shattered.
First of all, these two victories show that the Chinese military and civilians are still able to organize effective resistance in difficult circumstances. Under the conditions of lack of materials and backward equipment, the Chinese army relied on firm will and flexible tactics to successfully inflict a major blow on the Japanese army. This resistance is not only reflected in military victories, but also in the psychological victories of the Chinese people. The confidence of the Chinese military and civilians in the war of resistance was greatly boosted, and they began to believe that even in the most difficult moments, victory could be achieved through unity and struggle.
Secondly, these two victories broke the Japanese army's contempt and miscalculation of the Chinese army. For a long time, the Japanese army believed that the Chinese army was poorly equipped and poorly trained to put up effective resistance. However, with the killing of two brigade commanders, the Japanese had to reassess the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. The results of this assessment not only affected the strategic deployment of the Japanese army, but also had a negative impact on the morale of the Japanese soldiers.
In addition, the will and ability of the Chinese military and civilians to resist have been proven, which has also strengthened the international community's support for China's war of resistance. On the international stage, China's status and role in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression have been rerecognized, and many countries have begun to provide more aid and support. This international aid, which included not only military supplies, but also economic and political support, provided important external conditions for the continuation of China's war of resistance.
At the same time, the victory of the Chinese military and civilians in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression also had a profound impact on the domestic political situation. Encouraged by the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the unity between all strata and parties in the country has been strengthened. The cooperation and coordination between different political forces provided a more solid foundation for the in-depth conduct of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This kind of unity is not only embodied in the military, but also in the political, economic, cultural and other aspects, forming a strong joint force of the whole nation in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
